4. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains outlet
before cleaning.
• Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.
• Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean
damp cloth to preserve its original high quality nish.
Dry and polish with a soft cloth.
• Clean the water lter with a soft, clean, damp cloth
once a month or as necessary.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents of any
kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.
WARNING ! Do not immerse the kettle or power base in
water or other liquid. Ensure the electric kettle socket is
kept dry.
5. DESCALING
• To limit scale build-up, we recommend you use only
ltered or low-calcium water.
• During use, lime deposits will form on the inside of
your Cuisinart Multi-Temp Jug Kettle. To get the best
performance from the kettle, we recommend descaling
it from time to time. Frequency depends on the
hardness of your tap water and how often you use your
kettle.
• We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve
the scale. Simply follow the manufacturer’s guidelines
on the packaging.
• Alternatively pour in enough white vinegar to cover the
bottom of the kettle by about 2cm. Bring the vinegar to
the boil; you may need to repeat this several times with
cooled vinegar to remove the build-up completely.
• When the kettle is descaled, empty the kettle and rinse
out several times with clean water. Take care not to
inhale fumes.
